After earning praises for her superb performance on the court in UAAP Women's Volleyball Season 81, former UST Kapitana Cherry Ann "Sisi" Rondina dominated Twitterverse with her MMK episode.

#MMKSisiRondinaStory stole top spots in Twitter trends for both Philippines and worldwide with over 20,000 mentions as of posting.

Known for her explosive spikes and impressive team play, the MMK episode on the other hand showed Rondina as a daughter, a sister, and a student athlete.

Many netizens were inspired by Rondina's determination to stay at the top of her game even off the court.

The Sisi Rondina's story is a reminder that athletes are real people with real problems outside the court. We don't see their struggles. So think before you bash them for some stupid and selfish reasons. #MMKSisiRondinaStory

A lesson to each and everyone:

Tama na mahirap ang maging student-athlete but as long as you love what you are doing, hindi ka mahihirapan! Sacrifice is the most important key para maging successful!#MMKSisiRondinaStory
